  • List of Prešeren laureates (history · last edit) from [1] This list is a direct translation of the list published in Slovene language. The Slovenian copyright law proclaims official legislative, administrative, and judicial texts non-protected creations.(Slovenian Copyright Act, Article 9) I think that the list could qualify as an administrative text, because it is published by the Ministry of Culture and according to the Prešeren Award Act (general explanation) and the works by the Prešeren Fund have been included by the Archives of Slovenia among the material from the field of administration ("s področja uprave").[2] I'm not sure about its copyright status according to the American law. I'd like to get some additional opinions regarding the legal status of the translation and its copyright-related appropriateness for the inclusion into Wikipedia before I continue my work on it.

American copyright law is okay with it if the Slovenian copyright law is okay with it. However, I'm concerned about relying on a "could" here. :) But the bottom line is that a complete list of award recipients and the year they received the award should not be a copyright problem in the United States regardless of whether or not Slovenian law regards it as such. The danger would come in arranging it exactly as the original and in using the language from the original to describe the reason. The safest way to fix this and remain comfortably within at least our current understand of copyright in lists on Wikipedia would seem to be to rework it a bit, maybe something like this (choosing a few names at random):
Year Recipient Rationale
1947 Melik, Anton Geographer, for the work Ljubljansko mostiščarsko jezero in dediščina po njem ("The Ljubljana Pile-Dweller's Lake and its Heritage"
1949 Cesar, Ivan Actor, for his work in the Miško Kranjec play Pot do zločina ("The Path to the Crime") playing Berden
1959 Kalin, Zdenko Sculptor, for plastic sculptures on display at the People's Assembly of the People's Republic of Slovenia
I've fixed the table so you can sort by date, name or profession and tried to describe the rationale in my own words.
You could more easily eliminate concerns simply by removing the rationale and making sure that your structure is very mundane - for example, that you list the recipients alphabetically by year. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:00, 12 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, thanks for this helpful comment. I'll rework the list based on your advice. --Eleassar my talk 18:39, 12 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
